Confused Rain Lilies

My Pink Rain Lilies (Zephyranthes rosea) might be a bit confused. Hot, dry conditions continue with nary a hint of even the chance for a shower. No sudden deepening of the shade as a heavy cloud drifts into the area; no surprising temperature drop heralding at least a tease from a moisture-laden summer thunderhead.

But up pop a few pink Rain Lily blooms. Perhaps confusion. Perhaps a plea to the heavens. Perhaps a tease: "You wanna see more, then cry me some tears."
